Kathy, I don't know that it would hurt to have the library look these doctors. I just don't know what it would mean. Not much though. Now in hospitals, peer review is done , to keep people on or off the staff ( allow them on also ) these investigations are not open to the ( the results of them rather ) public. Everyone has civil rights and should. There is no way that I know of to find out how good a doctor is, except by word of mouth - or if you can stand each other. I have been to see doctors with excellent reputations and they probably were good. We just couldn't stand each other. I think Barb M advice was the best. By the way if you have had good luck doing thing the way you do, just keep on that way. The counties here have a book of county membership ( doesn't mean much anymore either - it surely did at one time.) For all I know the AMA book is still in print. We get a copy of the county membership every year, I use it to look up phone numbers, because I cannot remember them. I don't know what this is worth to any one though. If there is a medical library near , they probably will look them up for you though. Nita Kathy Kunz wrote: > Nita-- > > I think my research knowledge must be hopelessly out of date!
